Hello, I had no idea what forum this should go in but anyways.......today I looted 2 armor attachments and 1 clothing attachment with absolutley no + stats.......is this normal? I've looted many + 1 stat CA/AA but never saw one without any stats at all.

Probably the stats will assign themselves after the next server reset. That is at least what happens when serial numbers don't appear right away.
Anyone else having this problem?

I used to have a CA in my shop with zero stats. I looted it from a locked container from a stormtrooper. It has never had any stats, and most likely never will. I've been told by another person that the CSR's won't fix them. I kept it as an oddity.

This just gave me an idea...has anyone ever seen a 0 stat ca or aa on the bazaar, bought it, and then it had stats the next day?

My question in regards to this is why are there negative SEA's? ie -2 Pistol Accuracy.
Who the hell wants to DECREASE their stats and waste a socket?
I think this is like an experimentation roll failure. The loot that drops has a random chance to have stats and is calculated like an experimentation roll probably. Except with less modifiers to the final roll.

They are NOT rare. When I got my jedi, there was rumours that the blank attachments had some jedi skills that only a force sensitive could see. I tested that by going and buying a bunch of them on the bazaar. They all had no stats, putting them in clothes gave nothing, waiting changed nothing.
My current theory is that for every skill that was removed or toggled as not possible to be in a tape gave the bugged possibility of a blank. Jedi skills, revoked skills, skills removed during beta, etc. (I bet few remember the FARMER profession)
The negative skills are due to variables in the loot tables. Planets have difficulty modifiers that increase/decrease the skill provided, mobs will have their own ranges, and the average level of the group will change thevaluesif they are more/less powerful.
If you attack a very easy (Green con) mob on corellia, just outside of coronet and you are a TKM/Heavy Swords Master/Fencer, then the weak little meatlump is going to die with one shot of an auto attack and the loot tables suddenly get a bug if the loot result shows an attachment should drop.
Each skill is given a value, as well as the amount of the bonus. A rescue/foraging tape will always be of less value than any experiment tape. The servers will take all factors of the mob, the player, the combat and come up with an appropriate value for the item. Why do you think the Nightsister Elders and Dark Jedi Masters have the best stuff? If you are getting poor quality tapes, try attacking some harder mobs, changing planets or (hehehe)becoming a Master Dancer/Master Tailor like me,to make those mobstougher.
